W, G. T. U. MEETING.
Interesting   One Heid at
man Last Week.
Cole-
Wilson and His Class.
The First Tri-Oounty Convention
of the W. 0. Ti U. comprising Midland, Isabella and Olare, was held in
Coleman May 8th and 9th at the M„
B. church in charge of our able state
President, Mrs, E. L. Calkins of
Battle Oreek.
Thursday p. m. session was first
given to seating of delegates, appointing committees, and gathering
news from the field, wnich last consisted of official reports from Averill,
Coleman, Glare, Farweli, Hope,
Herriok and Shepherd. This was
followed by a royal welcome from
Coleman churches, village, school
and local Union, after which we
listened to a very instructive talk
by Mrs. Calkins from which we
learned the three fold object of the
> W. O. T. U. viz;
1. To educate public sentiment to
a standard of total abstinence.
2. To banish the saloon from our
state.
3. To have one standard of morals
for both sexes.
Thursday evening consisted a Bbort
literary program interspersed with
music by the Coleman male quartette, followed by a very able address by Mrs. Calkins on the legislative phase of the W, 0. T. U, work,
showing that the state wide prohibition bill really passed both houses
but when Senator Straight, of
Ohuroh St., Cold water, left the senate chamber soon after the vote was
taken, a, motion was carried to re-
Consider with the result that the |
"vote was changed sufficiently so that
itwaB loat.
Mrs. Calkins gave us much useful
and encouraging information along1
these and other   practical lines of
W, O. T. IL work. j
Friday  morning   was devoted to j
reading of journal, reports of committees and election of officers of!
Tri-Oounty Association   as follows:
president,   Mrs.   Stella  Lampman, j
Shepherd; vice  president,  Mrs. T.
U. Fuller, Farweli; Cor. secretary,
Mrs. N. W. Weston, Coleman; Reo.
secretary, Mrs. O. L.PouIson, Olare;
treasurer, Mrs. S. Orser, Shepherd.
Following the business session we
listened to two fine papers tbe first
of which was "Our Work" by Mrs.
Poulson, which was in fact a quiz
and proved very valuable to new
members giving a graphic idea of
the six lines of work followed by the
W. O. T. U., visr: Organization,' Preventive, Educational, Evangelistic,
Social and Legal. The second paper
"The Aim and Work of the W. C.
T. U." by Mrs. Lampman was very
interesting and especially helpful
#nd brought forth a very lively discussion led by Rev, Fleming of the
Coleman Presbyterian cburcb.
At noon on Friday a sumptuous
dinner was served by the Coleman
ladies in the church parlors to about
seventy five ladies and a few gentlemen.
With the Friday afternoon session
came a third very interesting paper
by Mrs. L. E. Mcintosh of Herrick,
"What Qualifications should a Young
Man Possess in order to be a Good
Home Maker?" ThiB was much appreciated by all especially as it advocates the same standard of morals
for our boys that is required by
society and custom for our girls,
. A very cordial invitation . was
given by the Farweli Union to meet
with them for Convention in 1914 and
Accepted, after which came final
adjournment.
A Mre. Lamoreaux.
With a single exception, every
member of President Wiison*s cabi
net began life as a boy in some Small
country town. Jdaking the best use
of early opportunities', they developed
their talents by study, steadily working their way through school and in
most cases through cpllege toward
that broader experience in the affairs
of life Vhich ultimately fitted them to
become "cabinet timber." Their example should be an inspiration to
those who, being born and raised in
tbe small conntry town, are apt to
consider their surroundings as unfavorable. If a youth has ambition and
energy he will surely find tbe gate of
apporfcunity open. In no part of the
world have there been finer illustrations of the development of self-reliance, prudence, concentration and
those other traits of character than
in the country town or village,
Christian Herald.
A Small Blaze.
It is mighty fortunate that the Baptist preacher practised climbing a
"greased pole" in his early years so
that he became an expert in that
lino. On Sunday afternoon a- spark
from the chimney dropped on the
roof of tho Baptist parsonage and
In a jiffy started a blaze. Now the
preacher had just returned from his
afternoon appointment in Sheridan,
Did he stop to turn in the fire
H?arm? Not much. Like Phil Sheridan at Winchester, "What was done,
what to do, a glance told him both."
No ladder was at hand bat a pole
fortunately chanced to be, and np'
that good pole he hied at a speed
that woold nave made ft circus performer turn green from, envy. Some
one else turned in an alarm, bat
•iff was all useless. Long before a
fireman appeared on the scene the
preacher had the fire oat and .was
down oa the ground again,, his''Sunday clothes" a little massed, bat
Itfbftvwtse all right.
CITIZENS' MEETING
Fairly   Well   Attended.     Much
Difference of Opinion.
The meeting on Monday evening,
called by Mayor Cole to get an expression of opinion relative to location and cost of jail, was fairly well
attended, somev4'l or 50 being present. Mayor Cole stated the object
of the meeting, that the committee
were simply the servants of the people and desired to carry out the
wishes of the majority if only that
wish could be ascertained.
It very soon developed that there
exists a wide difference of opinion
concerning the matter. John A,
Jackson and W. L. Adams thought
tbe building should be simply for a
jail and be located on tbe lot just
west of the Oity Hall and facing of
course on Fifth street. It was
thought that tbis location Would be
most satisfactory to the sheriff
whose approval was coupled with
the appropriation of $500 from the
county. Mr. Sutherland and some
others thought the building should
be located in the 2nd ward and provide facilities for voting in that
ward, in addition to the jail proper.
Mr. Lange and some others believed
the building should be in the 2nd
ward and be sufficiently large to
provide for tbe present and prospective needs of the fire department, in
addition to jail and voting facilities
for that ward. 0; W. Perry felt that
the people of the 2nd ward should
provide a lot if they desire the building in that ward. If located on the
city lot, he thought it should be in
the rear of the Oity Hall, facing on
Beech street. It very soon appeared
that no one wanted the jail located
near his own residence.
After considerable discussion Mr.
Sutherland moved that the committee proceed „to put up their building,
the location and other details being
left to the judgment of the committee, and that all disgruntled citizens
forever hold their peace. The motion was carried by a yea and°nay
vote, two voting in the negative,
several refraining from voting and
the great majority in the affirmative.
Welncline to the opinion that the
committee is likely to locate'the
building on the city lot west of the
Oity Hall, and build only a jail.
Doubtless work will be begun soon,

CIRCUIT COURT
A Strange Suicide.
It was a most remarkable and foolish thing which Phil Pennock, the
young man living near Pennocks did
in blowing off the top of bis head because his sweetheart refused to accept a pair of shoes which she
thought more expensive than he
conld afford to buy. He should have
realized that so sensible a girl is a
jewel and have done his utmost to
win her for a wife. Few girls would
object to anything of the sort.

The High School ball team went
to Coleman on the 4:02 Friday and
played the team there a tie game,
the score being 12* to 12. We understand that a claim is made by some
at Coleman that the above is not the
correct score, but we are assured
that there is no question of its correctness.
Contemptible Business.
Sometime daring Saturday night
some miscreant built a fire under the
fine new bill board, just erected By
tbe Wilson-Davy Oo. at tbe corner of
Fourth and Beech streets. Bills "had
just been put on the boards tbat day.
The boards face on both streets and
the part on Fourth street is half
ruined. The perpetrator of such a
senseless performance ought to be
paddled.

BIG SCHOOL FUND.
HARRISON.
Railroads    Pay    Taxes    Into
Primary Fund.
* The primary school fund was enriched to the extent of more than
$2,000,000 last week when Auditor
General Fuller received the 1912 taxes from a' number of tbe public service corporations.
The Michigan Centra] railroad was
the largest contributor, sending a
check for 51,153,000. The Pere Marquette remitted 5>527,0OO, Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern $404,000, Grand
Rapids & Indiana 1223,000, Grand
Trunk 8411,000, Detroit United Railway company £39,000, and Michigan
State Telephone company 339,000,
State Superintendent Wright estimates that the next appropriation of
primary money will be at the rate
of $7.50 per pupil.
Pay Full Postage.
Postmaster Kirkbride informs us
tbat some living on the rural routes
are prone to send in letters unsealed
and with only a one cent stamp
thereon. Evidently ihey Beem to
think that" one cent postage is all
right if only tbe letter is unsealed.
This makes no possible difference.
If a letter contains any writing you
must pay full postage. Your friends
must pay the balance before they
can obtain your letter. Don't do it
again.

Grant Terwilliger, the hustling

chap at Detroit has'discovered- tbafc-
"Eppotone" is the one and only
thing that no lady can afford to bfe'
without and the powder costs only
$2 a pound. Tbis wonderful preparation the purchaser is told to dissolve*
in hot water, adding when cool Roee»
Water and Oologne. Upon chemical,
analysis the pound of Eppotose is
found to consist of 13 ounces- «£
Epsom Baits and 3 ounces of bortra:
which might cost perhaps 10 ok as-
cents. The manufacturer very vri»o}$r
informs purchasers thasfc* no '■■.*&»•
should expect a beautiful complexions
by using Eppotone for two weeks*..
It should be used at least six months.
